Best pocket knife?
 

I had a 20+ year old buck knife that recently crapped the bed. I'm not really wanting to get another one of those, any suggestions to any affordable durable knives? Most I look at are in the triple digit range.

Buck 110

Edit: should have read your post better, but the 110 is the 'classic' pocket knife IMO, that or one of Case knives similar offerings.

I carry a Kershaw Emerson regularly as well as a SOG Twitch.

For a fixed blade knife, Randall is the best on the planet. PERIOD.

Buck has a lifetime warranty. I broke a tip prying on something and they replaced the knife. Might as well try and get it repaired/replaced anyway, if it's covered under warranty.

I have no clue where the receipt is.

I carry a Buck Vantage Pro Small. ~$50 with S30v steel.

Other popular knives with decent steel you can get for under $100 would be:

Spyderco Native 5 S35VN ~$90
Spyderco Delica ~$70
Benchmade Mini Griptilian ~$90
Cold Steel Mini Recon 1 ~$90
Kershaw Camber ~$80

Cheaper options with lower grade steels would be stuff like:

Ontario RAT Model 1 ~$30
Kershaw Skyline ~$40
Kershaw Leek ~$40

Or you could be like me and pray that Benchmade makes a mini version of the Crooked River and spend the $120 or w/e it would cost when it comes out.

JK :D

Single blade or multi blade?

Some folks call it a sling blade, I called it a kaiser blade..mmmhhmmm

Get one of those.

Single

Benchmade APB. Great metal. Holds an edge. Great knife:

This is my go to everyday knife at this point. Lightweight, will cut anything and reasonably priced.

Bob Dole carries a Kershaw every day.

Gerber makes a nice blade that holds an edge, too. 4 field dressed whitetails before it needed sharpening.
